For Those That Are Justifying Donald Trump’s “Locker Room Talk”
Boing Boing

Sign on to Facebook and you are bound to see some video, article, or image related to Donald Trump and his “locker room talk.” I am beyond astonished that so many people are justifying what was said. The fact that everyone is ignoring that he said “just kiss. I don’t even wait” or said “Grab them by the pu**y.” This ladies and gentlemen equates to sexual assault and the fact that people are justifying this and saying that there is nothing wrong with this is astonishing and sickening.

So many people are saying that they’ve heard worst, that it isn't a big deal. Others are saying that what Donald Trump said doesn't matter because Bill Clinton is the rapist not Trump. So many justifications and so little respect. If you justify what Donald Trump said you are either in love with him, stupid, or simply don’t understand the concept of sexual assault. No one in their right mind can justify what Donald Trump said, it is in no way okay and it is in no way okay to still support a man who states that he just "grabs the by the pu**y" because he is wealthy.

As a woman, as a human being I am repulsed by him and I am repulsed by all those who still support him and are using this for attention. So many women are sexually assaulted on a daily basis and we are simply sending the message that if the abuser is wealthy it does not constitute assault, it is justifiable.

As a society we need to stop justifying what people like Donald Trump do and say. We need to start standing up and have to realize that anything like what Donald Trump said is more than wrong, it cannot be justified, and it cannot be praised.

If you justify what he said, you are just as bad as him, even worse. Don't cry out when others start expressing themselves in the same manner and don't try to say others are rapists when you justify Donald Trump.

Because Donald Trump's "locker room talk" is just like saying "boys will be boys" and simply intensifies rape culture.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
